Chapter 356: Rakshasa!

"I must return to Wuhun City once more." Shi Quan watched Tang San's disappearing figure, then turned and left.

The Spirit Hall had always regularly sent supplies to Slaughter City to maintain its existence; now that Tang San had entered Slaughter City, he would surely turn the place upside down, and Slaughter City would likely have no use for those supplies, so the shipments could be temporarily halted.

Inside the Rakshasa Temple.

Terrifying purple magic light spread continuously, and purple magic patterns rose and shifted like flames.

Bibi Dong's complexion was blue and purple, her face even more ferocious; her crazed figure spasmed amidst the purple flames, enduring terrifying pain, while a dark purple scythe mark on her forehead emitted a ghastly glow.

The purple magic light exploded, and soul bone after soul bone was stripped from her body; the horrific pain brought Bibi Dong to the brink of collapse, but her firm conviction pulled her back each time.

Inside the temple, Bibi Dong's figure floated in mid-air, the martial soul phantoms of the Soul Spirit Spider Emperor and the Death Spider Emperor appearing behind her; the phantoms tore apart and were recast, twisting madly, manifesting countless black rays that merged into the soul bones.

The moment they touched the black rays, all the soul bones seemed to turn into liquid.

"Kill!"

A voice, cold and mad to the extreme, echoed throughout the entire Rakshasa Temple; at this moment, accompanied by a series of clanging sounds, her entire body began to undergo a strange transformation.

Those soul bone liquids melted by the black rays instantly took shape, turning into dark purple armor; the armor fit perfectly, and rings of dark purple resentment rippled outward with Bibi Dong's body as the center, the purple Rakshasa Demon Scythe appeared in her hand, and a massive, extreme evil intent surged out, finally forming an extremely huge figure: the Rakshasa Phantom.

The appearance of this phantom was none other than Bibi Dong herself; the next second, this Rakshasa Phantom encompassed her body, slowly shrinking, and merged completely into her body.

The purple magic scythe mark on her forehead shone brightly, turning into a cold current that suddenly rushed into the depths of Bibi Dong's soul, exploding in an instant.

Bibi Dong's eyes snapped open, purple evil intent gushing out, and everything around her became clear.

Boom—

In an instant, peerless purple light points tore through space, bringing Bibi Dong back to the Pope Palace; the purple magic scythe appeared in Bibi Dong's hand, and with a light sweep, the extreme evil intent turned into a purple pillar of light that shot into the sky, massive energy fluctuations erupting continuously, causing even the world to dim.

In the Gongfendian.

Suddenly, the Six-Winged Angel mark on Qian Renxue's forehead lit up; Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu were the first to sense the fluctuations from Bibi Dong's side.

"She still took that step." Qian Daoliu looked at the rising purple pillar of light, his expression complex.

"Rakshasa!" Qian Renxue looked at the pillar of light so close at hand; the massive pressure made the Six-Winged Angel mark on her forehead grow hotter and hotter, as if the blood in her entire body were evaporating.

There were two others who felt the same.

One was Tang San in Slaughter City.

Tang San raised his eyes to look in the direction the sensation came from; judging by the orientation, this was the direction of Wuhun City!

Could it be that some mutation had occurred within Wuhun City, actually emitting such a pure and evil aura, even purer and more evil than the power within his own body? Could such powerful evil energy really be power that a human could release?

Tang San had only been cultivating for a short time and was not clear about the power of gods, but he also felt as if a heavy stone were pressing on his chest, an indescribable oppression.

His eyes flickered with uncertain light, and it was only after a long while that Tang San calmed down. Forget it; no matter what happened, his current top priority was to inherit a God Position; only by becoming a god could he have the ability to turn the situation around.

Thinking of this, the blood-red light in Tang San's eyes grew even more intense, and wails rang out continuously in Slaughter City.

The other was Ye Lingling, far away on Sea God Island.

Inside the Sea God Temple.

Ye Lingling stood on the Sea God Platform, her gaze fixed on the black long rod standing upright in the center of the platform.

This black long rod was the Sea God Trident. It was caused by the Sea God Trident being thrust into the ground. This was the handle of the trident.

The exposed handle of the trident was about one zhang long. It was as thick as a child's arm and pitch-black without luster. One could only faintly see a layer of fine patterns on it.

Bo Saixi stood beside Ye Lingling, looking at her with eyes full of encouragement.

Just then, a scorching sensation radiated from the Sea God Trident mark; Ye Lingling's raised hands paused, and she turned her head to look in the direction of the Douluo Continent.

Bo Saixi also felt something and looked toward the Douluo Continent, explaining: "Someone on the continent has become a god!"

Ye Lingling was startled; she only felt a powerful sense of oppression coming from the direction of the continent, never expecting that someone had actually become a god.

Bo Saixi explained calmly: "There exists a special connection between inheritors of God Positions; if another inheritor succeeds in inheriting a God Position, the inherited Divine Sense will remind you."

"Do not be influenced by other candidates; focus on completing your Seventh Trial, pull it out, and with its recognition, you will have taken the key step toward becoming the Sea God, and one day in the future, you too will become a god!"

Hearing Bo Saixi's voice, Ye Lingling's eyes grew more determined; turning back, her gaze was locked firmly onto the Sea God Trident, and as blue light flickered between her brows, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud floated slowly out from her forehead, spinning as it landed on the Sea God Trident, and then she raised both hands, gripping the handle of the Sea God Trident with force.

An electric sensation spread throughout her body. The heaviness she had previously felt was now truly in her grasp. The texture on the handle of the Sea God Trident seemed to fit her palms perfectly.

The Nine Nether Begonia martial soul and the Sea God's Light were released simultaneously.

The originally golden Sea God's Light scattered onto the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, turning into a transparent and pure blue, blue like the ocean.

Boom—

The moment the Sea God's Light shone, the Sea God Trident in her hand seemed to tremble. An extremely excited emotion came from it. Immediately after, the blue Sea God's Light shining on the Sea God Trident strangely turned golden, and a faint gold began to spread. On the originally pitch-black handle, threads of golden patterns began to spread along with the release of the golden aura.

The stronger the Sea God's Light, the lighter the Sea God Trident became, and Ye Lingling also understood the importance of Sea God Affinity.

The intensity of the Sea God's Light was directly related to Sea God Affinity; the higher the Sea God Affinity she had achieved in the first six trials, the stronger the Sea God's Light she possessed, and thus the easier it would be to pull up the trident.

She had exceeded the requirements for both her Fifth Trial and Sixth Trial.

After the Fourth Trial, her affinity had reached forty, and both the Fifth and Sixth Trials had rewarded her with twenty affinity each.

In the original work, Tang San's affinity was only seventy during the Seventh Trial, but Ye Lingling had reached a staggering eighty Sea God Affinity at this moment.

Ye Lingling's current strength had also reached Level Ninety, and she was only one soul bone short.

Whether in strength or affinity, she had completely surpassed the Tang San of the original work. With such a foundation, how could she fail to pull out this Sea God Trident?

A harsh grinding sound erupted along with an incomparably surging energy, and the Sea God Trident began to rise slowly.

As the trident's main blade, which looked like a long sword, was slowly lifted accompanied by the side blades, the brilliant Sea God's Light seemed to wash away the blackness and dust on it. The water-like rippling golden light was so dazzling and eye-piercing. A dragon-like trembling sound burst forth continuously from the trident.

The Sea God Platform shook violently. The Sea God Temple, and even the entire Sea God Mountain, shook along with it.

Golden light shot into the sky from the Sea God Temple, and the Sea God Seven Holy Pillars on Sea God Island lit up simultaneously. Seven golden beams of varying thickness surged up from different directions, condensing with the golden pillar of light erupting from the temple into a single force, transforming into a magnificent spectacle.

The might of the Sea God could be seen for a thousand miles. In the ocean, almost all creatures felt the disturbance on Sea God Island. At this moment, the ocean suddenly fell into a standstill. The Raging Waves subsided.

In the deep sea, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's huge single eye stared at the direction of Sea God Island with unwillingness, "A God Position was just born on the continent, and now there's movement from Sea God Island; could all of this be the work of that brat?"

Thinking of his deal with Shi Quan, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King could not help but feel a bit more resentment, but he was helpless.

"There's such a good thing?"

Just as Shi Quan arrived at Wuhun City, he looked at the purple light spreading across the sky with a pleasant surprise, and a majestic suction force suddenly erupted from his body, appearing to crazily absorb the diffusing purple light.

This energy was not Bibi Dong's energy, but the residual Rakshasa Divine Power that spread out after she absorbed the vast majority of it the moment her Rakshasa God inheritance was completed.

If it were the sacred and bright power of the Sea God, most of it could be absorbed, but the energy of an evil god like the Rakshasa God could not be absorbed by ordinary people.

But Shi Quan was an exception; possessing the Sea of Consciousness World and yin/yang Internal Energy, he could absorb any kind of power.

"You are quite unceremonious." Bibi Dong noticed the unusual movement on Shi Quan's side immediately, raised her hand to grab, and Shi Quan's figure suddenly appeared in the Pope Palace, then she pointed a finger.

The scattered purple light immediately converged and was injected directly into Shi Quan's body; these scattered energies were of no use to Bibi Dong, so since Shi Quan wanted them, she simply did him a favor and gave them to him.

"Refreshing!" Shi Quan's eyes lit up; after all, these were considered Rakshasa Divine Power, and although they were only some residual energy, they were by no means comparable to ordinary energy, and they had no small benefit for the growth of his Sea of Consciousness World.

After a long while, Shi Quan finally opened his eyes slowly from the absorption of the energy.

"Congratulations to Your Holiness for becoming the Rakshasa God."

Bibi Dong's figure stood on the high platform, a purple-gold robe covering her body, her long hair draped behind her; the purple-gold Scepter she usually held in her hand was not there, her hands hung down casually, and her whole person looked very relaxed and at ease, without the noble aura of the past, looking just like an ordinary human, only that beautiful face made one unable to help but stop their gaze.

Bibi Dong sat lazily on the chair in the main hall, supporting her head with one hand, and said with her head tilted: "You are truly not acting like a stranger at all, I am a god now!"

Shi Quan smiled faintly, "The title of god is nothing more than a realm reached after human strength reaches a certain level; in the end, it is still just a human, only a more powerful human."

"You certainly see things clearly."

Bibi Dong asked indifferently: "Did you come this time to see if I gave the jade pendant to that old fellow or not?"

"That is not it; I believe Your Holiness can make the correct decision. I came only to notify the Spirit Hall that there is no need to send supplies to Slaughter City for the time being. I did not expect to happen upon Your Holiness becoming a god; this is quite a coincidence."

"It is indeed quite a coincidence." Bibi Dong smiled faintly, "A new inheritor of an evil god has appeared recently; is this matter also your doing?"

"You could say that."

"Oh?"

"This inheritor is Tang San."

"Tang Hao's son? Twin Spirits, his talent is indeed not bad, but it is a pity he has walked onto an evil path. And if I remember correctly, Tang Hao died at your hands, right?"

"So I did not intend to let him live, but I want to raise him a bit longer and wait until he becomes a god before deciding. His energy is also no small help to a Douluo."

Bibi Dong smiled upon hearing this, "I have to say, you are very bold; you have actually already started plotting to slaughter a god."

"The bolder the person, the greater the harvest."

"Judging from the aura of the inheritance descending, the God Position Tang San is inheriting should be the Devouring God, the most top-tier among Second-level Gods, and one of the most evil-natured gods among Second-level Gods. Many First-level Gods are unwilling to provoke him; you had best be careful not to let things get out of hand."

Shi Quan chuckled, "With Your Holiness here, he won't be able to stir up any waves."

"Why should I take action?"

"Your Holiness, you are unaware; that Tang San is a person who seeks revenge for the slightest grievance. He has not forgotten the matter of the Spirit Hall forcing his mother to her death back then. Even if you do not take action, he will take the initiative to come find you."

"Are you calculating against me?" Bibi Dong's eyes were slightly cold, and the temperature in the entire main hall plummeted significantly.

"How would this junior dare." Shi Quan waved his hands hurriedly and continued: "With Tang San's inheritance speed, it is impossible for him to inherit the God Position in a short time. Before he inherits the God Position, at least one of my lovers will inherit a God Position first."

"Hmph!" Bibi Dong snorted coldly, raised her eyes to look outside, and said coldly: "You should know what should be said and what should not be said. If this affects Xiaoxue's trial, I will not spare you."

"This junior understands."

"Bibi Dong." Qian Renxue's voice came from outside the main hall.

Clang, the doors of the main hall opened slowly, and Qian Renxue walked in from outside the hall.

"I become a god and you don't even come to offer congratulations, instead you come to find me for a man?" Bibi Dong's voice was flat, with no joy or sorrow detectable.

"Congratulations on becoming a god," Qian Renxue said indifferently.

Bibi Dong smiled, not angry, and waved her hand.

"Let's go." Qian Renxue nodded at Shi Quan and took Shi Quan away from the Pope Palace.
